car just loses power

hello,
this seems to only happen after I driven the car 5 miles or more and all of sudden my rpm just drops to 0 but all the electronics still work (lights,radio,etc...) and it will sometimes do it when I idle at a stop light. I recently had it in a local shop here and I told them the service engine light was on but it just seems like the reset it so they don't seem to really do anything. its an 06 2.4. if you need more info I'll try my best to explain more.
thanks
nick

have not looked at that. will go give a test drive. I hope its nothing to do with cooling as I just had a new radiator/condenser and fan installed almost a year ago.

I'm guessing that it might be either a cam or crank sensor.

Post the code when you get it read!

Nick,
Was your shop a GM dealership? I'm happy to follow up if so!
